3.9 Tax Matters.

(a) The Company and each Subsidiary has properly filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns that it was required to file, and all such Tax Returns were true, correct and complete in all respects when submitted and remain accurate and complete in all respects. No such Tax

Return is, or could reasonably be expected to become, subject to any dispute with any Governmental Entity. The Company and the Subsidiaries have paid on a timely basis all Taxes that were due and payable and no penalties, fines, surcharges or interest have been incurred. The unpaid Taxes of the Company and the Subsidiaries for Tax periods ending on or before the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date do not exceed the accruals and reserves for Taxes (excluding accruals and reserves for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the Most Recent Balance Sheet and all unpaid Taxes of the Company and each Subsidiary for all Tax periods commencing after the date of the Most Recent Balance Sheet arose in the Ordinary Course of Business and are of a type and amount commensurate with Taxes attributable to prior similar periods. The Most Recent Balance Sheet makes full provision or reserve within UK GAAP for any period ending on or before the date thereof for all Taxes assessed or liable to be assessed on the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary is accountable at that date, whether or not the Company or any Subsidiary has (or may have) the right of reimbursement against any other Person. Proper provision has been made and shown in the Most Recent Balance Sheet for deferred Taxation in accordance with UK GAAP. The Company and the Subsidiaries have duly submitted all claims, disclaimers and elections with respect to Taxes the making of which has been assumed for the purposes of the Most Recent Balance Sheet. No such claims, disclaimers or elections are likely to be disputed or withdrawn. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any Liability under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any comparable or similar provision of U.K., U.S., state, local or foreign Law), as a transferee or successor, pursuant to any contractual obligation, or otherwise for any Taxes of any Person other than the Company or a Subsidiary. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to or bound by any Tax indemnity, Tax sharing, Tax allocation or similar agreement. All Taxes that the Company and the Subsidiaries were required by Law to withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been properly paid to the appropriate Governmental Entity, and the Company and each Subsidiary has complied with all information reporting and backup withholding requirements, including the maintenance of required records with respect thereto, in connection with amounts paid to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, or other third party. No payments or loans have been made to, or assets made available or transferred to, or any assets earmarked, however informally, by the Company or any Subsidiary for the benefit of, any employee or former employee (or any associate of such employee or former employee) of the Company or any Subsidiary by an employee benefit trust or another third party.

(b) The Company has delivered or made available to the Buyer (i) complete and correct copies of all Tax Returns of the Company and the Subsidiaries relating to Taxes for all taxable periods for which the applicable statute of limitations has not yet expired and (ii) complete and correct copies of all private letter rulings, revenue agent reports, information document requests, notices of proposed deficiencies, deficiency notices, protests, petitions, closing agreements, settlement agreements, pending ruling requests and any similar documents submitted by, received by, or agreed to by or on behalf of the Company or a Subsidiary relating to Taxes for all taxable periods for which the statute of limitations has not yet expired. The income Tax Returns of the Company and each Subsidiary have been audited by the applicable Governmental Entity or are closed by the applicable statute of limitations for all taxable years through the taxable year specified in Section 3.9(b) of the Disclosure Schedule. No examination

or audit of any Tax Return of the Company or any Subsidiary by any Governmental Entity is currently in progress or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened or contemplated. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been informed by any jurisdiction in which the Company or any Subsidiary did not file a Tax Return that the jurisdiction believes that the Company or such Subsidiary was required to file any Tax Return that was not filed or is subject to Tax in such jurisdiction. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has (x) waived any statute of limitations with respect to Taxes or agreed to extend the period for assessment or collection of any Taxes, which waiver or extension is still in effect, (y) requested any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return, which Tax Return has not yet been filed, or (z) executed or filed any power of attorney with any taxing authority which is still in effect. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is involved in any dispute with any Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes, nor has the Company or any Subsidiary, within the past seven years, been subject to any visit, audit, investigation, discovery or access order by any Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes. To the Knowledge of the Company, there are no circumstances existing which make it likely that a visit, audit, investigation, discovery or access order with respect to Taxes will be made in the next 12 months. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received from any Governmental Entity (and has not subsequently repaid to or settled with that Governmental Entity) any payment to which it was not entitled, or any notice in which its liability to Taxation was understated.

(c) The Company and each Subsidiary have, within applicable time limits, kept and maintained complete and accurate records, invoices and other information in relation to Taxes as they are required or is prudent to keep and maintain. Such records, invoices and information form part of Tax accounting arrangements that enable the Tax liabilities of the Company and any Subsidiary to be calculated accurately. The Company and each Subsidiary have complied within applicable time limits with all notices served on them and any other requirements lawfully made of them by any Governmental Entity.

(d) Section 3.9(d) of the Disclosure Schedule contains details of all concessions, agreements and arrangements that the Company or any Subsidiary has entered into with any Governmental Entity and all notifications given to any Governmental Entity. The amount of Taxation chargeable on the Company or any Subsidiary during any accounting period ending on or within the six years before the Closing Date has not, to any material extent, depended on any concession, agreement or other formal or informal arrangement with any Governmental Entity. All transactions in respect of which any clearance or consent was required from any Governmental Entity have been entered into by the Company or any Subsidiary after such consent or clearance has been properly obtained. Any application for such clearance or consent has been made on the basis of full and accurate disclosure of all the relevant material facts and considerations, and all such transactions have been carried into effect only in accordance with the terms of the relevant clearance or consent.

(e) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is, or will become, liable to make to any Person (including any Governmental Entity) any payment in respect of any liability to Taxation which is primarily or directly chargeable against, or attributable to, any other Person (other than the Company or any Subsidiary).

(f) The gross book value shown in, or adopted for the purposes of, the Financial Statements as the value of each of the tangible fixed assets of the Company or any Subsidiary does not exceed the amount which on a disposal of such asset at the date of this Agreement would be deductible as acquisition cost in computing the capital gain or deductible loss. The Company and each Subsidiary has sufficient records to determine the Tax consequence which would arise on any disposal or realization of any asset owned at the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date or acquired since that date, but prior to the Closing. Neither the execution nor completion of this Agreement, nor any other event since the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date, will result in any asset being deemed to have been disposed of and re-acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary for Taxation purposes under any Law of any jurisdiction.

(g) If any asset of the Company or any Subsidiary was disposed of at Closing for its book value as shown in, or adopted for the purpose of, the Financial Statements, or for the value of consideration actually given for it on its acquisition (if such asset was acquired since the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date), no balancing charge or similar clawback of relief or disallowance of depreciation relief in any jurisdiction would be made on the Company or that Subsidiary.

(h) No distribution or deemed distribution has been made (or will be deemed to have been made) by the Company or any Subsidiary, except dividends shown in their statutory Financial Statements, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is bound to make any such distribution.

(i) All financing costs, including interest, discounts and premiums payable by the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of its loans and amounts payable by the Company or any Subsidiary in respect of its derivatives contracts, are deductible by the Company or such Subsidiary in computing its profits, gains or losses for Taxation purposes. No rents, interest, annual payments or other sums of an income nature, paid or payable by the Company or any Subsidiary, or which the Company or any Subsidiary is under an existing obligation to pay in the future, are or may be wholly or partially disallowable as deductions, management expenses or charges in computing taxable profits for Taxation purposes.

(j) Section 3.9(j) of the Disclosure Schedule contains full particulars of (i) all groups and consolidated groups for Taxation purposes and fiscal unities of which the Company or any Subsidiary is, or has been, a member within the last seven years and to the Company’s Knowledge there are no circumstances or arrangements as a result of which any Subsidiary or the Company will cease to form part of such group; (ii) every agreement relating to the use of losses (including in the United Kingdom by way of group relief) or allowance to which the Company or any Subsidiary is, or has been, a party within the last seven years; and (iii) any arrangements for the payment of group Taxation liabilities to which the Company or any Subsidiary has ever been party.

(k) All claims made by the Company and the Subsidiaries for the use of losses (including in the United Kingdom by way of group relief) or allowance were valid when made and have been or will be allowed by way of relief from or allowance or credit against Taxation. All arrangements entered into by the Company and the Subsidiaries in relation to groups and

consolidated groups for Taxation purposes and fiscal unities were valid when made and will be valid up to the Closing. The Company and the Subsidiaries have met all procedural and other requirements of all Taxation Statutes in respect of such claims, unities or groups.

(l) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the Closing, nor any other event since the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date, will result in the clawback or disallowance of any losses (including in the United Kingdom losses taking the form of group relief) or allowance previously given.

(m) The Company and each Subsidiary has, throughout the past seven years, been resident for Taxation purposes in the country in which it is incorporated, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has, at any time in the past seven years, been treated as resident in any other jurisdiction for the purposes of any double Taxation arrangements. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has had a permanent establishment or taxable presence in any country other than the country in which it is incorporated.

(n) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary holds, or within the last seven years has held, shares in any company except for the shares in the Subsidiaries currently held by the Company.

(o) All transactions or arrangements made by the Company or any Subsidiary have been made on arm’s length terms and the processes by which prices and terms have been arrived at have, in each case, been fully documented. No notice, inquiry or adjustment has been made by any Governmental Entity in connection with any such transactions or arrangements. There are no circumstances in which any rule or provision could apply causing any Governmental Entity to make an adjustment to the terms on which such transaction or arrangement is treated as being made for Taxation purposes. In relation to each transaction for the supply of goods or services or the lending or borrowing of money into which the Company or any Subsidiary has entered with a party with which it was connected, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary has full contemporaneous documentary evidence of the process used to establish that arm’s length terms applied. No notice, inquiry or adjustment has been made by any Governmental Entity in connection with any such transactions or arrangements.

(p) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been involved in any transaction or series of transactions either designed wholly or mainly or containing steps or stages having no commercial purpose or the main purpose, or one of the main purposes of which, was the avoidance of Taxation or deferring Taxation or reducing a liability to Taxation or amounts to be accounted for under PAYE in the United Kingdom, or any transaction that produced a loss for Taxation purposes with no corresponding commercial loss.

(q) The Company and each Subsidiary has complied with all obligations relating to any Indirect Tax. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is or has been, in the period of six years ending with the Closing Date, a member of a group for the purposes of Indirect Tax. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been, or will be, denied full credit or allowance for all Indirect Tax paid or suffered by it. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has been the subject of any inquiries, investigation or routine visit by a Governmental Entity

relating to Indirect Tax within the past six years as a result of which any liabilities or other irregularities were identified and there are no outstanding inquiries arising from any such enquiries, investigations or visits.

(r) Any document that may be necessary or desirable in proving the title of the Company or any Subsidiary to any asset which is owned by the Company or any Subsidiary at the Closing is duly stamped for stamp duty purposes or has had the transfer or registration Tax due in respect of it paid. Neither entering into this agreement nor the Closing will result in the withdrawal of any stamp duty or transfer or registration Tax relief granted on or before the Closing which will affect the Company or any Subsidiary. Section 3.9(r) of the Disclosure Schedule sets out full and accurate details of any asset acquired or held by the Company or any Subsidiary before the Closing for which, to the Knowledge of the Company, or to which the Company ought reasonably to be aware, an additional Taxation return will be required to be filed with a Governmental Entity and/or a payment of stamp duty or transfer or registration Tax made on or after Closing.

Tax deductions arising from the payment of any Closing Adjustment Items shall be allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or the Pre-Closing Portion of a Straddle Period, as applicable, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

No delay or failure to give written notice of a Tax Claim by a Party shall adversely affect any of the rights or remedies that such Party has under this Agreement or alter or release any obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such delay or failure has materially prejudiced the indemnifying Party. The Buyer or the Company shall deliver to the Representative, as promptly as possible but in no event later than ten (10) days after receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by Buyer or the Company with respect to any Tax Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the case of any Tax Claim relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period that, if determined adversely to the Company or any Subsidiary, would be grounds for a claim for indemnity pursuant to Article VI, the Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct of such Tax Claim and shall have the right to settle such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the Buyer shall keep the Representative reasonably informed of the commencement, status, and nature of such Tax Claim, provide the Representative an opportunity to discuss the Tax Claim with the Buyer, and consider in good faith any comments of the Representative with respect to the Tax Claim. In addition, the Buyer will contest such Tax Claim in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate any amounts payable pursuant to any such Tax Claim.

(h) None of the Buyer, the Company, or any of their Affiliates will amend, or cause to be amended, any Buyer Prepared Tax Return or any other Tax Return filed with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without the prior written consent of the Representative (which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) except to the extent required by Law. None of the Buyer, the Buyer Parent, or any of their Affiliates will (i) make or allow to be made any election under Section 338 of the Code (or any similar election under any applicable Law) without the prior written consent of the Representative or (ii) take any action on or after the Closing that Buyer knows or would reasonably be expected to know would increase the indemnity obligations of the Sellers for Taxes pursuant to Article VI without the prior written consent of the Representative unless otherwise required by Law; provided, however, that clause (ii) shall not apply with respect to

either any indemnity obligations of the Sellers for Taxes relating to transfer pricing or prevent the Buyer, Company or any Subsidiary or any employer entity (current or former) of any Individual Seller seeking guidance or clarification from any Governmental Entity as to the proper taxation treatment of all or any part of the Aggregate Consideration (including the Earn-Out Consideration).

(i) The Sellers jointly and severally irrevocably agree to:

(i) pay to the Buyer, the Company or any relevant Subsidiary or any other employer (or former employer(s)) of any Seller (in each case a “Recipient Party”) the amount of any Company Shares Tax Liability; and

(ii) enter into arrangements to the satisfaction of the Buyer, the Company, or any relevant Subsidiary, any Seller’s employer (or former employer(s)) as the Buyer considers appropriate for the satisfaction and/or minimization of any Company Shares Tax Liability, save to the extent that such Company Shares Tax Liability is deducted at source from any payment under this Agreement.

(j) The Buyer has the right to deduct and/or withhold from and/or set off against all or any part of the Earn Out Consideration otherwise payable to any of the Sellers:-

(i) any liability under United Kingdom Law to PAYE income Tax and primary class 1 (employee) national insurance contributions and any similar liability under the Laws of any other jurisdiction to deduct and/or withhold and/or account to any Governmental Entity for amounts in respect of Tax, income tax or social security contribution in any jurisdiction that the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary or any other employer (or former employer(s)) of any Seller is liable to account for as a result of any Taxable Event; and

(ii) any secondary class 1 (employer) national insurance contributions in the United Kingdom (or any similar liability for social security contribution in any jurisdiction) that the Buyer, Company or any Subsidiary or any other employer (or former employer(s) of any Seller) is liable to pay as a result of any Taxable Event; and

(iii) any interest and penalties that the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary or any other employer (or former employer(s)) of any Seller is liable to account for in respect of liabilities mentioned in (i) or (ii) above together with any costs reasonably and properly incurred by the Buyer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary or the relevant employer (or former employer(s)) of any Seller in connection with such liabilities, except to the extent that interest or penalties result from a failure on the part of the Buyer or the Company to discharge any liability within a reasonable time after the Sellers (or any of them) have made any payment to the Buyer in respect of that liability;

save to the extent such sums have been either paid to the Buyer pursuant to Section 5.3(i) or Section 6.1(a) of this Agreement or such sums have been deducted at source from any payment under this Agreement.

(k) The Buyer shall not initiate (save as required by Law), or respond to, communications with a Governmental Entity where the Buyer knew or ought reasonably to have known such communications relate to a Company Shares Tax Liability without first providing the Representative with a reasonable opportunity to comment. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Buyer, the Company or the relevant Subsidiary or the relevant employer (or former employer(s)) of any Seller seeking guidance or clarification from any Governmental Entity as to the proper taxation treatment of all or any part of the Aggregate Consideration (including the Earn-Out Consideration).

(l) All sums payable by the Sellers pursuant to Section 5.3(i) shall be paid in cleared and immediate available funds no later than five Business Days before the date on which the Company Shares Tax Liability in question becomes due and payable (or five Business Days after the date on which the Buyer serves notice on the Sellers requesting payment, if later) free and clear of all deductions or withholdings whatsoever unless the deduction or withholding is required by Law. If any deduction or withholding is required by Law to be made from any of the sums payable by the Sellers pursuant to Section 5.3(i), the Sellers shall pay such sum as will, after the deduction or withholding has been made, leave the Recipient Party (as defined in Section 5.3(i) above) with the same amount as it would have been entitled to receive in the absence of any such requirement to make a deduction or withholding. If the Recipient Party incurs a Taxation liability which results from, or is calculated by reference to, any sum paid under Section 5.3(i), the amount so payable shall be increased by such amount as will ensure that, after payment of the Taxation liability, the Recipient Party is left with a net sum equal to the sum it would have received had no such Taxation liability arisen.

(m) The Sellers shall be responsible for payment of 100% of all Indirect Taxes arising out of the conveyance of the Company Shares to the Entity Seller. The Sellers shall be responsible for 100% of any Indian Indirect Taxes and Indian Taxes generally arising out of the conveyance of the Company Shares to the Entity Seller or out of the conveyance of the Company Shares to the Buyer or otherwise as a result of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent such Indian Indirect Taxes and such Indian Taxes generally exceed $137,000.

(n) The Buyer shall be responsible for payment of 100% of all Indirect Taxes arising out of the conveyance of the Company Shares to the Buyer other than as provided in Section 5.3(m). The Parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns relating to Indirect Taxes, including joining in the execution of any such Tax Return or other documentation where necessary.

5.4 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Buyer will pay all costs, fees and expenses (including legal and accounting costs, fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the Company Transaction Expenses and all costs, fees and expenses (including legal and accounting costs, fees and expenses) incurred by any Seller shall be paid by the Sellers.

5.5 Heron Market Access Limited Name Change. No later than two (2) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall (a) take all action necessary to change the

name of HMA to a name that does not include “Heron” or any name intended or likely to be confused or associated with any name used by the Company or any Subsidiary on or prior to the Closing Date and (b) register such name change with all applicable Governmental Entities as necessary or appropriate.

5.6 Data Room Contents. No later than five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to the Buyer a compact disc containing complete and accurate copies of all documents included in the Data Room.

5.7 Company Employees and Company Employee Plans. Following the Closing and for six (6) months thereafter, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, subject to requirements of Law, provide the employees of the Company who remain employed immediately after the Closing Date, including each such employee who is on an approved leave of absence on the Closing Date (the “Continuing Employees”), provided such Continuing Employees remain employed by the Buyer or the Company during such six (6) month period, employee benefits that are substantially similar to those provided to the Continuing Employees before the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Continuing Employee to receive service credit after the Closing Date for their employment with the Company prior to the Closing Date for purposes of (i) eligibility to participate and vesting (but not benefit accrual or amount) with respect to such Buyer or Company employee benefit plans and (ii) accrual towards vacation leave and other paid time off, except, in each case, where receiving such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits. Subject to the approval of any insurance carrier or third party provider, the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions exclusions (or actively at work or similar limitations), evidence of insurability requirements and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under any health and welfare plan sponsored by the Buyer or the Company that such Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate in after the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 5.7. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 5.7 are not intended to, and do not, create any rights or obligations to or for the benefit of anyone other than the Buyer and the Company. Nothing in this Section 5.7 shall constitute an amendment of any employee benefit plan.

5.8 Key Employee Retention Plan. Within five (5) Business Days following the Closing, the Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, establish a management retention pool of $1,800,000 and enter into retention bonus documents with Key Employees other than the Sellers with respect to such management retention pool on the terms set forth on Schedule 5.8.

5.9 Equity Interest in HHPL. Xxxx Xxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that any equity interest he holds in HHPL as of the date hereof is held as the nominee, and for the benefit, of the Company, and that he shall exercise any right associated with any such interest solely for the benefit of, and as directed by, the Buyer. Upon the Buyer’s request, for no additional consideration, Xxxx Xxxxxx shall execute such documents, and take such other actions, as may be required to transfer any such interest to a transferee designated by the Buyer.

5.10 Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, upon request of any Party, each Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other instruments and documents and shall take all such other actions required to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other agreements and instruments delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including by executing, acknowledging and delivering any instrument or document contemplated to be delivered at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.4 not so delivered); provided that the Buyer shall not be required to pay any further consideration or amounts therefor.

6.2 Indemnification Claims.

(a) Any Indemnitee that receives notice of any Third Party Action shall give written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt by the Indemnitee of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent then known by the Indemnitee) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages. No delay or failure on the part of the Indemnitee in so notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve such Indemnifying Party of any Liability hereunder except

to the extent of any Liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Within twenty (20) calendar days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnitee, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that (i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnitee on behalf of all Indemnifying Parties that any damages, fines, costs or other Liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnitee in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Indemnitee shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VI, (B) the ad damnum in such Third Party Action, taken together with the estimated costs of defense thereof and the Claimed Amount with respect to any unresolved claims for indemnification then pending, is less than or equal to the current balance of the Escrow Fund (if the Indemnifying Party is any Seller) or the amount of Damages for which the Buyer is potentially liable under this Article VI in connection with such Third Party action (if the Indemnifying Party is the Buyer), and (C) only if the Buyer is the Indemnitee, an adverse resolution of the Third Party Action would not have a material adverse effect on the goodwill or reputation of the Indemnitee or the business, operations or future conduct of the Indemnitee and (ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Action involving Taxes or criminal Liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Indemnitee or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates. The Indemnitee is hereby authorized (but not obligated) prior to and during the twenty (20) calendar day period referred to in the preceding sentence to file any motion, answer or other pleading and to take any other action which the Indemnitee shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests. If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Indemnitee shall control such defense. The Non-controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Non-controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action as reasonably requested by the Controlling Party. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnitee controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.2(a) or (ii) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnitee reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee; provided that the consent of the Indemnitee shall not be required if the Indemnifying Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnitee and its Affiliates from further Liability, involves no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, excludes any injunctive or non-monetary relief applicable to the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates and has no other adverse effect on the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates.

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VI, the Indemnitee shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Within twenty (20) calendar days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnitee a Response, in which the Indemnifying Party shall: (i) agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case, (A) if the Indemnifying Party is any Seller, the Response shall be accompanied, as applicable, by a letter from the Representative instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Buyer from the Escrow Fund an amount in cash equal to the Claimed Amount and/or payment by the applicable Seller(s) in cash equal to the Claimed Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (B) if the Indemnifying Party is the Buyer, the Response shall be accompanied by payment by the Buyer in cash equal to the Claimed Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds), (ii) agree that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case, (A) if the Indemnifying Party is any Seller, the Response shall be accompanied, as applicable, by a letter from the Representative instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Buyer from the Escrow Fund an amount in cash equal to the Agreed Amount and/or payment by the applicable Seller(s) in cash equal to the Agreed Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds, or (B) if the Indemnifying Party is the Buyer, the Response shall be accompanied by payment by the Buyer in cash equal to the Agreed Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds) or (iii) dispute that the Indemnitee is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. The Indemnifying Party may contest the payment of all or a portion of the Claimed Amount only based upon a good faith belief that all or such portion of the Claimed Amount does not constitute Damages for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article VI. If no Response is delivered by the Indemnifying Party within such twenty (20) calendar day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. Acceptance by the Indemnitee of partial payment of any Claimed Amount shall be without prejudice to the Indemnitee’s right to claim the balance of any such Claimed Amount.

(d) During the thirty (30) calendar day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Representative and the Buyer shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such thirty (30) calendar day period, the Representative and the Buyer shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to binding arbitration, and if the Representative and the Buyer agree in writing to submit the Dispute to such arbitration, then the provisions of Section 6.2(e) shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. The provisions of this Section 6.2(d) shall not obligate the Representative and the Buyer to submit to arbitration or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure with respect to any Dispute, and in the absence of an agreement by the Representative and the Buyer to arbitrate a Dispute, such Dispute shall be resolved in a state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in accordance with Section 9.11. If the Buyer is seeking to enforce the claim that is the subject of the Dispute pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Representative and the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if

any) portion of the Escrow Fund shall be distributed to the Buyer (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute).

(e) If, as set forth in Section 6.2(d), the Buyer and the Representative agree to submit any Dispute to binding arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in accordance with the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the following provisions:

(i) In the event of any conflict between the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and be controlling;

(ii) Either party shall commence the arbitration by filing a written submission with the Boston, Massachusetts office of the AAA in accordance with Commercial Rule 5 (or any successor provision);

(iii) All depositions or other discovery shall be conducted pursuant to the applicable U.S. federal rules relating to discovery;

(iv) Not later than thirty (30) calendar days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the Arbitrator shall prepare and distribute to the parties a writing setting forth the arbitral award and the Arbitrator’s reasons therefor. Any award rendered by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties, and judgment thereon may be entered and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction (subject to Section 9.11);

(v) The Arbitrator shall have no power or authority, under the Commercial Rules or otherwise, to (x) modify or disregard any provision of this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 6.2(e), or (y) address or resolve any issue not submitted by the parties; and

(vi) In connection with any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Agreement, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, except that the fees and costs of the AAA and the Arbitrator, the costs and expenses of obtaining the facility where the arbitration hearing is held, and such other costs and expenses as the Arbitrator may determine to be directly related to the conduct of the arbitration and appropriately borne jointly by the parties (which shall not include any party’s attorneys’ fees or costs, witness fees (if any), costs of investigation and similar expenses) shall be shared equally by the Buyer and the Sellers.

(f) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.2, if a third party asserts (other than by means of a lawsuit) that the Buyer or any of its Affiliates is liable to such third party for a monetary or other obligation which may constitute or result in Damages for which the Buyer may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI, and the Buyer reasonably determines that it or its Affiliate has a valid business reason to fulfill such obligation, then (i) the Buyer shall be entitled to satisfy such obligation, without prior notice to or consent from the Representative or the Sellers, (ii) the Buyer may subsequently make a claim for indemnification in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, and (iii) the Buyer shall be

reimbursed, in accordance with the provisions of this Article VI, for any such Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VI (subject to the right of the Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, to dispute the Buyer’s entitlement to indemnification, or the amount for which it is entitled to indemnification, under the terms of this Article VI).

(g) Without limiting the authority granted under Section 1.9, the Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of each Seller to take any and all actions on behalf of, execute any and all instruments on behalf of, receive or deliver any and all notices on behalf of, and execute or waive any and all rights of, the Sellers under this Article VI. The Representative shall have no Liability to any Sellers for any action taken or omitted on behalf of the Sellers pursuant to this Article VI.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, the Buyer shall not be able to recover Damages from the Sellers in respect of any matter to the extent that it has already recovered Damages from the Sellers in respect of such matter.

public advertisement or general recruiting efforts of any Seller or its Affiliates shall not be a violation of the foregoing non-solicitation restrictions.

7.3 Non-Competition Agreement.

(a) During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Non-compete Period”), no Seller shall (other than in his or her capacity as an employee of the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries) directly or indirectly, for such Seller or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, whether as a partner, officer, director, employee, stockholder, joint venturer, member, investor (other than as the passive holder of not more than one percent (1%), if such Seller is then employed by the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, or three percent (3%), if such Seller is not then so employed), of the total outstanding stock of a publicly-held company) or otherwise:

(d) Each of the Parties agrees that the duration and geographic scope of the non-competition provision set forth in this Section 7.3 are reasonable. In the event that any court of competent jurisdiction determines that the duration or the geographic scope, or both, are unreasonable and that such provision is to that extent unenforceable, each of the Parties agrees that the provision shall remain in full force and effect for the greatest time period and in the greatest area that would not render it unenforceable. Each of the Parties intends that this non-competition provision shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America and each comparable jurisdiction or subdivision thereof anywhere else in the world where this provision is intended to be effective.

(f) If a Seller violates the terms of this Section 7.3, such Seller shall continue to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein until a period of three (3) years has expired without any violations of this Section 7.3.
